Bibliography

First described and edited by ARIE and in ARIE, followed by Hanumantha Rao et al. 1998. Despite wild variation of reading, the three publications probably all refer to the same inscription. ARIE cites different provenance; observed at Guntur acc. To ARIE, and at the time ARIE was compiled the stone was still in Guntur.
